Brought to you by your friendly neighbourhood
Maritime Geocaching
Association
Please note: The island is almost completely
private property. Please respect that on your visit. Do not cut
across lawns or people's house lots or fields on your visit; stay
on the roads, follow the shoreline and beaches, and usually there
are old hunting paths just inside the edge of the woods when the
shoreline turns into cliffs that meet the forest edge. These caches
are present on the condition of respect from visiting cachers.
Thankyou. 
This cache is hidden by the lighthouse on the eastern peak of
the island.
The current light on Ironbound was built in 1871 to replace the
previous light that had been destroyed the year before. Unlike most
lighthouses these days the light tower and lightkeeper's house are
not seperate buildings. According to "A Brief History of
Canadian Lighthouses", having the lightkeeper's house built
into the lighthouse was a characteristic of lighthouses built
during 1870-1900. Therefore the Ironbound light would have been one
of the earliest examples built during that period. It was also
probably one of the last manned lighthouses in the area with an
assistant light keeper right up till 1990.
Terrain is at 5 since you need a boat to reach the island.
Once there, the terrain is about a 1.5 for this cache.
